Episode Description

Friday, Nov 9, 2018 - 6:00 PMOn July 18, 1965, U.S. Navy Commander Jeremiah Denton took off from the aircraft carrier USS Independence leading a 28-plane mission over the city of Thanh Hoa in North Vietnam. Denton's plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire during the attack, and for the next eight long years, he would battle the North Vietnamese as a prisoner of war in the infamous Hanoi Hilton. He was forced by the North Vietnamese to participate in a press conference and told he must say the POWs were being treated well, but took advantage of that opportunity to secretly blink out the letters T-O-R-T-U-R-E in Morse code.G
